Hi @fishermaniac,

I guess you’re using one of the really old APM autopilots. In general we don’t support these old autopilots any more because they simply don’t have the CPU and memory required to support all the features we’ve added in recent years.

If possible it is best to replace the APM with a more modern autopilot. There are dozens to choose from some at very reasonable prices.

Hello,and thank you for your answer,I am stucked with this controller,because it is easy to set it up and it is afordable.I have feeling that I am very close to make it save way point,.I found information that for some users the function save points is working ,for others not,may be it is metter of settings,i dont know,But Why would be there chl 7 and that function,may be I have to upload to the board old firmware,but wich one ,this is the problem

There are many boards available that have both a modern CPU and are cheaper than old APM2.x sold by scammers.
